[2] Tauris is a non-family asteroid of the main belt's background population when applying the hierarchical clustering method to its proper orbital elements.
[5][13] In 1983, a rotational lightcurve of Tauris, obtained from photometric observations with the ESO 0.5-metre telescope at La Silla, Chile, was by published by Belgian astronomer Henri Debehogne in collaboration with Italian astronomers Giovanni de Sanctis and Vincenzo Zappalà.
[10] In May 2013, Michael S. Alkema at the Elephant Head Observatory (G35) in Arizona determined an identical period of 35.8±0.1 hours with an amplitude of 0.18±0.03 magnitude (U=2–).
[11] According to the surveys carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, and the Japanese Akari satellite, Tauris measures (102.229±2.138), (109.56±3.1) and (109.76±2.78) kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of (0.054±0.011), (0.0470±0.003) and (0.047±0.003), respectively.
[6][8][9] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link adopts the results obtained by IRAS, that is, an albedo of 0.0470 and a diameter of 109.56 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 8.74.
